It would be a great feature if after I have confirmed my contacts, that the Awards section would automatically update each eligible awards category, like the new QRZ Logbook does now. Its a pain to have to keep going Award to Award category and performing a update, very time consuming and its a good chance you may miss an award category.

Please update the Awards input for each category to be automatically updated after the member has confirmed the contact.

This is an old topic but I still want to add a suggestion. It would help a lot if when I click on update award for Mixed that the web site would update all the subcategories below mixed.

I think it would be great if just one button click would update all, instead of spending all this time having to update every single category. It's getting tiresome to have to work through every category just to see where I am in standings...

The "Update MyAwards Page" button just does a browser refresh.

What is doing all the work is when you click on the "Standings" link beside each award. Clicking on the standings link does a database query with your callsign for the particular award/endorsement, updates the data for the award/endorsement stored in your account so that when your browser is refreshed it will show the current data.

I imagine the reason it is done one at a time is because of the processing time involved to do the database query. A quick check of the awards page shows 48 possible awards/endorsements currently available.

Anyway, that just speculation on my part. I'll ask Dave, N5UP, about it next week.
